They Are Looking In Your Bathroom Cabinet, The Drawers of The Dresser In Your Bedroom And Tell Me, How Do Really You Feel About This?

They Are Looking In Your Bathroom Cabinet, The Drawers of 
The Dresser In Your bEdroom And Tell Me, 
How Do Really You Feel About This?
By Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO, Tracometry Group of Companies.

It is just knowing that they have been in your space, your home, castle, it has been seriously violated. It is that they had the audacity to do so.  How dare they! 

We scream, or some do, about the rape of man or woman, molestation of a child and the knowledge that these people are allowed to exist in our society that is an ever increasing spiral of insanity.

It is not just anti-social, it is depraved!  Crime is crime no matter how you look at it.

Then there are the other lowlife morons who are entering your life without your knowledge and are as degenerate and sick.  Hackers, Phishers and Man in the Middle Brutal Attackers of your extreme personal information and life.

This is even more personal than you think!  Let us look first at what these excuses for human beings are doing to corporate data and the information they steal.  Yes, criminally stealing other people’s property, stuff!

We have accelerated to solely using the Internet, hard drivers and servers to store information.  Accounting, profiles, facts, trends, patents, formulas, the inner most secrets that use to be filed away in metal storage cabinets with a lock on it.  Now, it is in the “Cloud”, hidden on servers in concrete buildings in various places on the global.  Supposedly secure!

Founders, CEO’s, Presidents, Chairman, VP’s and worker bees believe that because it is on these devices, it is all safe and tucked away from any thief who could break into the building. 

Wrong! 

You see, there is this wire and wireless connections, the backbone of today’s communications, which is connected to virtually every business, home, school, and university/research organization in the world.  Think about it, you are connected to Justin Bieber, Jimmy Fallon and President Putin. 

I think you get the picture and realize the interconnections, in fact, every computer thief is connected to you too and has abilities to unlock your darkest secrets, any time they want, unless you have taken precautions!

A question, do you have locks on your front and back door of your home?  Is there a lock on the garden shed?  Maybe you think more of the lawn mower, snow blower and bag of mulch than you do of your personal stuff or corporate inside information that you sweated over, created and is your lifeblood.

The majority of people carry a mobile phone which is nothing more than a computer and is used as a communicator via telephone calls, text messages, emails, surfing and extracting information from the web, games, those photographs we all take and never look at again and YouTube videos. That is one heck of a lot of information sliding through your fingers, eyes and mind on a daily basis. 

The trouble is, because most do not install basic security measures it is open to others as well.  It goes further than that, programming codes are needed to operate your devices and these lists of zeroes and ones can be rearranged like a jigsaw puzzle and used by others.  Stealing your information is a crime and it seems the majority don’t understand or even care.

We are looking for Trust and Security in all of our lives and believe it or not in most corporations there is a person in charge of that when it comes to computers and information services.  You folks need to be having a conversation on this matter and see how we can stop you being reactive and become proactive!

On a personal level, when a corporation is hacked and infiltrated, the information stolen includes passwords, credit/debit card information and that alone disrupts our lives.  Once you have been informed, if it ever takes place in a timely fashion, it is the hassle of reporting the theft, replacing bank cards, changing passwords and watching you bank account for spurious charges on your account meticulously.

Why do you have to go through this nightmare?  If the corporation, Cloud provider, university/school/college, medical facility, retailer, restaurant chain or online shopping website had competent security in the first place, you would not have to go through this.

Data is valuable and more valuable than gold or diamonds.  

Last week Key Talk spoke with a worldwide sales software company regarding security of their servers and clients information which is accessible via SaaS (Software as a service), sometimes referred to as "on-demand software" supplied by ISVs or "Application-Service-Providers" (ASPs), is a software delivery model in which software and associated data are centrally hosted on the cloud. SaaS is typically accessed by users using a thin client (password) via a web browser. SaaS has become a common delivery model for many business applications, including Office & Messaging software, client and data information storage.  

SaaS has been incorporated into the strategy of all leading enterprise software companies. One of the biggest selling points for these companies is the potential to reduce IT support costs by outsourcing hardware and software maintenance and support to the SaaS provider.

They believed that they were secure and would not be a target for hacking. 

Guess what?  They just got hacked! 

The hacker is a terrorist and looking for the low hanging fruit to attack first.  Just like any sales company does, which is the easiest sale to make first.  They have to be sought out and stopped by gathering information and chatter on the streets of who is doing what to who and having the barricades and weaponry to stop them dead in their tracks.

KEYTALK has that ability and has been proven to be a success for over twenty years in Europe.  Our patented, proprietary software solution is working every single microsecond of the day, enabling secure connections for all data in motion.

Let us introduce and simply explain the established KEYTALK Solution:

KeyTalk is a convenient highly secure solution which helps protecting your IT infrastructure, whether a stand-alone network or in a Cloud, against advanced Internet and network based threats. Though considered by many as a break-through innovation in the application and industrialization of PKI based technology, it’s still based on the highest security standards thus compatible with any network, just with less overhead, cost and management effort.

SECURING YOUR SENSITIVE DATA IN MOTION

With KeyTalk, laptops, tablets and smartphones (and their owners) you trust, can securely connect their device to your target server over any non-secure network (Public Hot Spot) or Internet environment.

All it requires is your server trusting your KeyTalk instance as a trusted source and you are good to go.

KeyTalk protects your online community’s data-in-motion against Man-in-the-Middle and Phishing attacks. Based on our patented automated distribution for short lived client certificates, your users transfer data to your servers and the Cloud from their KeyTalk identified trusted laptops, tablets and smartphones using state-of-the-art daily changing encryption keys at virtual zero management.

They Are Even Getting Into Your Junk!


They Are Even Getting Into Your Junk!
By Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO, Tracometry Group of Companies.

Not to be personal, but your junk is your junk! 

Think about it, on a personal note, you go shopping, swipe your debit/credit card and you expect that that action and entering a pin number is between you and the bank.  

Sadly it is not!  

Hackers, Phishers and Man in the Middle Brutal Attackers are after everything personal you own, worked for and saved for the future.  Even those family pictures, even the little naughty ones, yes, you and your junk!

Your corporate information is also in need of protection!

Security of information which is ever moving, is your responsibility too!  

Personal and corporate information should be private and not out in the world for others to go through and steal.

If you have a cough, you take something for it, if you have information, which we all do, you need to protect it from hackers.  I know, you are not computer savvy and do not know how to do that.  It is as simple as turning a key in a lock.

If you are a corporation and you have an IT department, let them see what we can do to protect the company.  Allowing them to do job they were hired for. 

Not reactive fighting of hackers every single day

They can now be proactive in the job their trained for and you employed them to complete.

You Prepare For Bad Weather, Including Hurricanes, Snow Storms and Flooding, What Are You Doing About Computer Hacking, Phishing, Brutal Attacks & The Theft of Data & Personal Information About YOU?


You Prepare For Bad Weather, Including Hurricanes, Snow Storms and Flooding, What Are You Doing About Computer Hacking, Phishing, Brutal Attacks & The Theft of Data & personal Information About YOU?
By Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO, Tracometry Group of Companies.

It seems not a lot!

How can you be comfortable in allowing terroristic strangers steal from you?  

The personal protection of your computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets is extremely easy to do and the majority of the public have no security whatsoever and dumb passwords! 

The steps to have protection of your extremely personal information is straight forward and only takes less than thirty minutes to complete.

Your government, local, city, national, the bank, restaurants, shops you purchase from in person and online have the ability to stop these Hackers, Phishers, Man in the Middle Brutal Attacks from ever reaching you on a personal level. 

In fact, anywhere you allow the access through your bank/debit card to your lifeblood, money and information.  You are at high risk and are not challenging the security of anyone! 

They maybe complying to so called standards, but that was yesterdays rules!

The Internet is the greatest communications tool since Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.  Back then, you had a party line and an operator who listened into you calls.  What they gleaned was only local gossip from your mouth to their ears and only became local gossip.

Today, it is all around the world in milliseconds and into the wrong hands!

The latest security issues include Forbes, Kick Starter and a myriad of small/medium companies and it goes on every minute of the day.  Many have no idea they have been hacked and their information is being sold all around the world right now.

Yesterday, the Los Angeles Times run a business story:

No quick solution to payment card hacking. 

Their byline was “Payment card hacking may get worse as new chip technology and other measures take time to develop, experts say. The U.S. is a prime target because of its reliance on magnetic strips.

WRONG & MISINFORMATION!!!!

Sorry, I have to shout this from the highest hill!  Even if I live on the flat land.

It is not often that you have the answer and implementable immediately!

What does it cost?  Literally per device as much as an Abe Lincoln per month, yes five dollars or much less with volume!

You cannot afford not to apply this solution that has been working for over twenty years in Europe, with our team keeping ahead of the computer terrorists.

In the article it stated, “Security experts fret that failure to act could threaten consumer trust in the plastic cards that drive the national economy.”

"This has the potential for people to question the viability of our payment system," said Venky Ganesan, a venture capitalist with Menlo Ventures, who focuses on cybersecurity investments. "If people lose faith in the payments system, you're going to have the economy gum up."

“Last year, nearly 70 billion payments, worth about $4 trillion, were made with credit, debit and prepaid cards in the U.S., according to industry tracker Nilson Report.

The Target breach was a stark reminder of just how vulnerable those plastic cards are.”

KeyTalk has been saving millions from the problems in Europe and is now available worldwide.  Since the Target incident, KeyTalk has now made available the solution, especially in the USA.

We will not apologize for making this a marketing information article. 

This is so important for the protection of personal information, corporate data and major cost and time hassles.

KeyTalk is a convenient highly secure solution which helps protect your IT infrastructure, whether a stand-alone network or in a Cloud, against advanced Internet and network based threats.

Though considered by many as a break-through innovation in the application and industrialization of PKI based technology, it's still based on de-facto security standards thus compatible with any network, just with less overhead, cost and management effort.

Product Benefits

•        Provides advanced application and network protection for changing      threats including Phishing, Man-in-the-Middle and Brute Force attacks
•        Enables a wide range of secure branch- and remote-access options
•        Streamlines security administration
 and lowers management cost
•        Makes federated identity a reality
•        Digital signing
•        Machine to machine usage
•        Corporate laptop, tablet & smartphone usage


ONLINE APPLICATIONS, including credit/debit cards

Users normally access online applications using username and password only and sometimes biometric or two factor authentication is used. This only “proofs” the user but does not secure the connection offering cyber criminals an opportunity to interfere.

KeyTalk protects your online community’s data-in-motion against Man-in-the-Middle and Phishing attacks. Based on our patented automated distribution for short lived client certificates, your users transfer data to your servers and the Cloud from their KeyTalk identified trusted devices using state-of-the-art daily changing encryption keys at virtual zero management.  This includes the POS (Point of Sale) application in person or online.

KeyTalk delivers a unified architecture for perimeter, internal and web based access control, based on the industry standard X.509 digital certificates.

SECURING YOUR SENSITIVE DATA IN MOTION

With KeyTalk devices (and their owners) you trust, you can securely connect their device to your target server over any non-secure network or Internet environment.

This even means Public Hotspots!

All it requires is your server trusting your KeyTalk instance as a trusted source and you are good to go.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION & USER FRIENDLY

KeyTalk seamlessly integrates into your existing network infrastructure. As a result no data needs to be replicated making life for your Admin a lot easier. And by automating the certificate issuance and installation process no user actions are required.

HOW DOES THE KEYTALK INFRASTRUCTURE WORK



  • At first connection and or registration the user is checked against the existing authentication databases like AD/LDAP/RADIUS
  • If user exist or approved KeyTalk automatically takes the device DNA to store on the KeyTalk server in HASHES
  • Once stores KeyTalk will sent a short lived client certificate to the trusted device
  • Receiving the client certificate user connects to the application server
  • The application server will trust the device due to the certificate and will grant the user access
  • A 2 SSL connection is set up using several layers of encryption protecting the privacy of the device/user
  • User does not have to use a token and or other authentication method because the device is seen as trusted
Many say “MY EXISTING PKI IS A PAIN TO MANAGE!”

Companies who choose a Public Key Infrastructure usually do so for security reasons.

A full blown PKI is simply a bridge too far for most companies but the level of security is still required.

KeyTalk fills this gap between PKI and regular multi-factor authentication by providing short lived certificates. Its similar technology compared to PKI, but without the huge overhead created by user certificate issuance, management and revocation lists.

KeyTalk PKI Infrastructure

  • Short lived X.509 certificates, an industry standard since 1988
  • A-Symmetric encryption keys (RSA 2048+ bit keys, ECC 224+ bit keys)
  • Private Certificate Authority instead of a Public CA
  • No need for Certificate Revocation Lists due to short lived certificates
  • Authentication/authorization
  • Automatic enrollment
  • Digital Signing
TCO KeyTalk

KeyTalk PKI infrastructure from $60 operational cost per user per year against $191-$238 per user per year traditional PKI
